Happy Birthday, Debbie! I’m sorry I wasn’t able to attend the reunion but I have enjoyed reading and hearing about it. We should get together sometime and talk about old times (we go back to Woodmont together). Do you remember our “horse club” that you started back in elementary school? I live in Clifton so we’re pretty close in distance. Have a wonderful birthday. Fondly, Susan Coyne Mears
